The electoral college in america should be abolished because it has major flaws‚ supports political inequality‚ and doesn’t support third party candidates. On top of the flaws that already exist in the electoral college the biggest flaws is what happens when there is a tie. In the case of a tie the decision of who gets to be president is cast in the House of Representatives. This would mean that every states essentially has one vote making “the single representative from Wyoming‚ representing 500

The electoral college is a group of people that vote based on the popular vote in their district. The people who are in the electoral college can be regular people who are picked by the state legislature. How many points a state get is based on that state’s population.

I like the Electoral College. I don’t want a most popular vote win election because I want the smaller states to still have a say‚ but‚ if America switches to most popular election‚ the way things are‚ might just get worse. There are some good reasons for a most popular election‚ and there are not good reasons for one too. I like the Electoral College a lot‚ and I would like the voting system to keep it that way.
